Yourdeline Sertyl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Perfectionism often hides beneath achievement. It can drive success while quietly fueling anxiety, self-criticism, and burnout. I help high-achieving adults unpack the roots of perfectionism, shift rigid thought patterns, and develop healthier standards that allow for growth without constant pressure.

Carlos "Charlie" Garcia
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CCC, MSc, MBA, CCTP
Perfectionism can look like you have it all together on the outside, like everything is okay and perfectly done. But on the inside, it can feel like constant pressure, overthinking, mental listing, and never quite feeling like it’s enough. No real celebration, no slowing down, no fully accepting or believing compliments.
It’s more like always pushing yourself, second-guessing, or feeling like you can’t slow down because everything has to be done a certain way to feel right.
We can work on understanding where that comes from, shifting those patterns, and building a way of living that feels more sustainable and less exhausting.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Perfectionism often looks like high standards, but it is usually driven by fear of failure, criticism, or not being enough. We can work on loosening the pressure without lowering what you value. The focus is on more flexible thinking, better self-compassion, and the ability to take action without needing everything to be flawless.

Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
I have spent an extensive amount of time researching, writing and working with patients with perfectionism. I am aware and address the many challenges perfectionists face when entering therapy. In general, perfectionists may be prone to terminating therapy prematurely. For example, a self-oriented perfectionist may interpret seeking help as though they are flawed and end the relationships quickly. Socially oriented perfectionists may want to please their therapist and thus not reveal thoughts and feelings and feel dissatisfied with the therapy process. By discussing the therapy relationship and monitoring thoughts and feelings throughout the process premature termination can be avoided. Through the therapy relationship perfectionists may also develop and internalize new coping skills to manage expectations. For example, new relationship experiences that occur in the therapy relationship (ex: expressing needs or being vulnerable) may generalize to other social settings. Other oriented perfectionists who can learn to accept the imperfections of their therapist can learn to possibly be more tolerant of others.
I also work with perfectionist patients on learning to manage anxiety regarding expectations and teach self-acceptance and compassion skills using mindfulness and Buddhist influenced interventions. I also help perfectionists identify and manage maladaptive cognitions and patterns that lead to distress. I help perfectionists develop more balanced thinking. I help teach self-oriented perfectionists how to set boundaries and say “no” to others. Many perfectionists, particularly self-oriented perfectionists are reluctant to let go of expectations fearing this will impair performance. Managing perfectionism however, does not necessarily mean desiring less, but changing one’s relationship and response to when expectations are not met.

I work with people whose perfectionism contributes to anxiety, stress, procrastination, self-criticism or feeling never good enough. Therapy focuses on developing healthier standards, greater self-compassion and a more balanced approach to achievement.
